WordPress Family Award
It always warms my heart when I receive a blog award. So, I’m truly blessed and humbled to have been chosen to receive the “WordPress Family Award” from a wonderful bloggy-friend at http://ballybin.wordpress.com
I have been inspired by Tamrah’s blog and I really admire her honesty and courage in sharing her innermost thoughts on her life journey.
Thank you Tamrah! You make me feel on top of the world!
This is brand new award from Shaun @ http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com “I am part of the WordPress Family Award”. Anyone can take this award any time and pass it on to ten others!
Award Description:
“This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family” I start this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award.” from Shaun @ http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/

Joke of the day – Guide dogs
Two friends run into each other while walking their dogs. One suggests lunch. The other says, “They won’t let us in a restaurant with pets.”
Undeterred, the first guy and his German Shepherd head into the restaurant. The waiter stops them, saying “Sir, you can’t bring your dog in here.”
“But I’m blind,” the man replies, “and this is my guide dog.”
The waiter, apologizing profusely, show both man and dog to a table.
His friend waits five minutes, then tries the same routine. “You have a Chihuahua for a guide dog?” the skeptical waiter asks.
“A Chihuahua?” the man says, “Is that what they gave me?”

Joke of the day – The ‘spelling’ argument
Two Indian doctors were having an animated discussion. “I say it’s spelt W-H-O-O-M,” said one. “No, it’s W-H-O-M-B,” said the other. A nurse passing by said “Excuse me, you are both wrong. It is spelt W-O-M-B.”
“Thanks nurse,” said one, “but we prefer to settle this argument ourselves, besides, we don’t think you are in a position to describe the sound of an elephant passing wind under water.”
Quote of the day – Haruki Murakami
“No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.” – Haruki Murakami
Quote of the day – Bernard M. Baruch
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” – Bernard M. Baruch
Joke of the day – Beating the red light
In court because of a ticket for driving through a red light, a lady told the judge that she was a school teacher and her case needed to be heard immediately so she could get back to classes.
A wild gleam came into the judge’s eye. “Madam, I’ve waited years to have a teacher in this court,” he said. “Now sit down at that table and write “I went through a red light’ 500 times.”
Happiness is …
… see eye to eye.
The bank
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use that day. What would you do?
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME! Every night it writes off as lost whatever you failed to invest to good purpose. It carries no balance, allows no overdraft.
Every day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no “drawing” against tomorrow. You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get the most in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of it today. Treasure every moment you have. Remember that time waits for no one.
“Time is the most valuable thing that a man can spend.” – Diogenes Laertius
